What's troubling me now is that what you say seems to me likecontradicting the following pieces in the WP:OR:
- The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.
In what way is this contradictory? It is only contradictory if you take this to mean "anything that is verifiable should be in Wikipedia" - and even then it still does not say what article it should be in.
- In many cases, there are multiple established views of any given
topic. In such cases, no single position, no matter how well researched, is authoritative. It is not the responsibility of any one editor to research all points of view. But when incorporating research into an article, it is important that editors provide context for this point of view, by indicating how prevalent the position is, and whether it is held by a majority or minority.
A bit further down, it says:
If your viewpoint is held by an extremely small minority, then — whether it's true or not, whether you can prove it or not — it doesn't belong in Wikipedia, except perhaps in some ancillary article.
